Hi Guys,

I recently conducted a massive clean out and organization for my closet! Here are a few easy steps for organizing  your closet to reflect the current & upcoming season.

1. Get a clothing rack! 
A clothing rack allows you to display pieces that inspire you.  It also makes your current wardrobe visible. It's easier to put outfits together when you can see what you have.

2. Remove anything that you will not wear during the Spring/Summer.
This includes extremely thick or heavy garments, darker shades, inappropriate fabrics, etc. You want lighter, and brighter garments for the Spring/Summer.

3. Categorise your clothes. 
Whether you color coordinate or arrange my article type, or both, this is a great way to see what you have!

4. Throw in any new pieces you may want to wear.
Now is the time to put those new purchases or old finds on display! Be sure to donate any clothing you do not see yourself wearing next year.

5. Don't forget your shoes! 
It is also important to organize your shoes by shade and by type. Make sure you have them set up in a way that you can see your options.

BONUS TIP: You can also organize your jewelry in the same manner. I like to lay my favorite pieces on a magazine, so they are extremely visible. You can continue to swap old accessories for new ones if you want a change! : )

I hope these tips helped you!!

Verse of the moment: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Hello Lovely People,

I've recently launched a new fashion series on my YouTube channel entitled 'Thrifted Fab' ! In this series I will be styling thrifted items into everyday looks. There will be a new video and corresponding blog post up each week. It's going to be exciting!!

OAN: I haven't been posting and uploading as often as I would like because its finals time! You may not know this, but I am a college professor as well, and it gets extremely hectic for me around this time. As much as I like to read, grading papers for several classes is no fun!

Only the good Lord has been getting me through this season. I am so looking forward to the summer! My workload will decrease and I will be posting both frequently and consistently.

Here's a bible verse to keep you going this week. 

Isaiah 41:10  fear not, for I am with you;  be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

This weekend the hubby and I went over some friends' for lunch. I was going for a dichotomy between comfy and chic. The look is centered around this fall-inspired blouse.

I purchased this blouse at a Goodwill outlet for less than $1, last weekend. (Goodwill outlets price their items by the pound). Although this blouse has fall colored leaves on it, I decided to rock it out anyway! Hope you enjoy the look and are inspired. :)

On my lips I added a nice pop of color. Covergirl Lip Perfection: Divine

Jeffrey Campbell Lita's: Purchased from SoleStruck some time ago.

I picked this bag up at Ross some time ago.

A better look at the blouse; a bit wrinkled from sitting in the car :/

I felt fab in this ensemble!

Blessings and much love to you all until next post!

Hi guys,

I'm absolutely in love with  this new collection at Target. I've put together some of my favorite pieces into 3 looks. :)

XOXO,

Spring doesn't officially arrive until March 20, 2013 this year but I have already begun playing around with some Spring shades. I wore a fairly simple outfit today with a statement piece.

My statement piece was a coral colored blazer, purchased from Target on clearance for only $10.48! This blazer was originally $35.00, but Target regularly places various items on clearance for between 30-70% off. Because of this, Target is my favorite place to be! ;)

I've  been rocking this silver satchel very frequently! It's just so versatile.  I've also been experimenting with this silver collar lately. I've never owned a piece like this. In general, I am more of an earring girl, as opposed to a necklace girl. Give me a pair of fabulous earrings any day, over a statement necklace.

I absolutely love these patent pumps! I picked them up at Ross and I have finally broken them in! LOL

Designed by Michael Kors, these pumps feature a 4-inch heel, studding, and a zipper detail on the back of the shoe. These are my go to pumps, as they add a hint of pizzazz to the casual outfit.

Just as I have been walking boldly in some fresh colors, I've been learning to walk boldly in my calling, as well. 

When Christ shed his blood on the cross for the sins of human kind, he did it so that, if I accepted him as my Lord and Savior, I could walk with my head held high.

 My past no longer defines me and as long as my heart matches up with His, I can ask anything of my God. This bible verse sums up the way I am feeling at the moment:

^"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."                             (1 John 5:14-15)

I did a music and video recording today for one of my friends, Mike, and I think this outfit showed up well on camera.

 I'm looking forward to the Spring season. Although I don't follow trends too closely, I always get excited at the notion of challenging myself with the season's tones and shades. It's fun to put my imagination to use in this manner. So you all will probably see me transitioning into the next season with hints of Spring colors here and there, with each outfit post.

Talk to you all very soon!!!
